NERF Nerfoop Classic Basketball Favorite Reviews Summary

Material and Durability

Pros:

• "Sturdier than they used to be and the hoop can break away (collapse w/o actually breaking) for those that get too aggressive."
• "The rim and door hook are holding up."
• "This hoop has survived the shenanigans of a dozen high school boys for the past two months and is going strong."
• "The backboard is made of cardboard but it’s surprisingly sturdy."
• "So far it seems sturdy enough for the purpose."
• "The backboard is cardboard! This item was not packaged correctly and arrived with the backboard bent up and damaged."
• "The backboard is made of cardboard but it’s surprisingly sturdy."

Cons:

• "Very cheap material. Definitely not worth the money."
• "It’s cheap I wonder why it’s so bad it took me forever to set up the backboard is cardboard my first shot the net fell off and a few minutes later after a few shots later it broke."
• "Should have read the reviews. Extremely cheap. Cardboard backing. Will break in a day if you have kids that play rough."
• "Completely a waste of money. Total junk and cheaply made. Backboard is cheap and flimsy cardboard."
• "You get what you pay for. The backboard is cardboard and arrived bent."
• "Lasted maybe 2 hours. This is mostly a piece of cardboard."
• "The entire backboard is made of cardboard which was a bit of a disappointment."

Assembly and Design

Pros:

• "Simple, easy to assemble, classic that never goes out of style."
• "It was super easy to put together and it fits perfectly over my son's bedroom door and it hangs at just the perfect height."
• "Easy, simple assembly."
• "It assembled pretty easily and is a lot of fun to play with."
• "The ball is small and easy to store. It fits very well on any door and is stable."
• "This was perfect for what I needed it for. If your child (or whoever is using it) has destructive tendencies, this is not for you as the backboard is made of cardboard."
• "It is very easy to attach any door."

Cons:

• "DO NOT BUY. This was complete trash because the packaging was missing the backboard."
• "The product was a nightmare to assemble."
• "Assembly instruction step #2 doesn't match the figure."
• "Insanely difficult to assemble. Does not have a good explanation on how to. Looks bigger than what it it in the picture and is very flimsy."
• "The 'backboard' is made out of the cardboard that it is shipped in, so when you take the 'box' apart, you're actually ruining the supposed backboard."
• "The packaging itself is what turns into the backboard, so it's only cardboard and if you open the package wrong (or your kid does) you'll easily damage the backboard."
• "Hoop is cute but be very careful opening because the backboard is the cardboard part of the package."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "I think for the price you're paying for this one, you're getting a good product."
• "It's cheap, but it works."
• "I bought this as a Christmas gift, and it was a hit."
• "A classic that works great for a lot of fun inside the house with a nerf ball that is light and causes no damage for inside the home, as long as only the nerf ball is used it will last for many hours of fun for a reasonable price!!"
• "Good purchase for the money."
• "This is a good basketball set for the price. It's just a cardboard backboard, but once it's placed on a wall or door, you won't notice that."
• "This was inexpensive, and way worth the days of fun the whole family is getting from this little ball and hoop."

Cons:

• "Very disappointing from such a major brand."
• "Not even worth the $8. Huge disappointment in Nerf."
• "Figured better quality given the Nerf brand... Would not order again."
• "I know it’s only 10 bucks but it’s not even worth that. Backboard is the cardboard packaging, net won’t stay on."
• "Even if it was $5, it wouldn’t be worth it."
• "My husband purchased this for our sons room - what a waste of 10$!"
• "Very cheap material. Definitely not worth the money. Made of cheap plastic and cardboard."
